I offer individual psychotherapy services, including EMDR for people of all ages: teens, young adults, men and women as well as couples and pre-martial counseling. My clients often feel stuck and are typically struggling with life changes, relationship difficulties, personal growth, adolescent challenges, are transitioning into adulthood, or want to enhance and lead a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I view my role, as a therapist as one who walks beside you on your journey, offering a safe place to talk about your worries and as a guide who nudges you in the direction of the life that you are destined to lead.
I am a client-centered clinician which means that we work on what you feel is most important. My role is to assist in a strong, direct manner. I work a lot with people who experience times of anxiety and I offer concrete exercises and tips to help manage and decrease anxiety. When there is trauma involved I utilize EMDR to reprocess old memories.
I primarily see clients in person. In my experience people change and find relief more rapidly in an in-person setting. . I am happy to consult with you to determine if a face to face session would be appropriate. I also offer therapy online or over the phone for the sake of convenience.
